Huangguoshu Waterfall, Natural cascade in Huangguoshu, Guizhou Province, China

Huangguoshu Waterfall is a cascade on the Baishui River, a tributary of the Dabang River in the Pearl River system, in Zhenning Buyei and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun, Guizhou. Its main fall drops 67 meters within a total height of 77.8 meters, and the main fall's crest is 83.3 meters wide within a total width of 101 meters. The water pours over grey limestone into Xiniu Pool, the plunge pool below.

Xu Xiake recorded the falls in 1638 while asking locals the name of the river above them, which they called the Baishui River; he did not name the waterfall itself. Qing and Ming texts long referred to the cascade by that river name. The name Huangguoshu appeared in print in 1834, when a poem in the Qianji claimed the place was named for yellow-fruit trees; the local tree was actually the huangjue, or banyan, misheard by merchants. The area became a scenic site from 1977 and a national 5A attraction in 2007.

The name comes from a mishearing: the local huangjue tree (a kind of banyan) was recorded as huangguoshu, "yellow-fruit tree", by merchants, and the 1834 Guizhou text Qiji fixed the error in writing. The name Huangguoshu Waterfall was first used directly in a poem by Guiyang poet Wang Jingyi in the late Qing. The 1986 TV adaptation of Journey to the West was filmed here.

The park lies 45 km southwest of Anshun, with a dedicated bus line linking the waterfall, Guiyang's Dragon's Palace and Anshun railway stations. Three viewpoints serve different angles: Waterfall-Viewing Pavilion for a distant view, Water-Viewing Stage for a bird's-eye view, and Waterfall-Viewing Stage for looking up. Flow peaks in July, reaching 690 cubic metres per second in 2007; the waterfall festival falls in August and September.

Behind the falling water lies a cave system that runs 134 meters. Visitors can walk through the Water Curtain Cave and look out at the wall of water through six window openings.
